Julie Sealey

Julie Maze serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and advancing the agency’s mission through transparent, efficient, and legally sound procurement practices. Her portfolio primarily encompasses non-defense services, with a strong emphasis on information services, training, and facility support contracts. Julie’s work ensures that acquisitions align with strategic objectives while maintaining fiscal accountability and regulatory integrity. Julie cultivates collaborative relationships with a diverse array of vendors, including small businesses, professional service providers, and specialized contractors in the information and facility services sectors. While no single contractor dominates her award portfolio, she consistently engages with firms capable of delivering complex, performance-based services under fixed-price and time-and-materials structures. Her approach emphasizes competitive bidding, clear performance metrics, and post-award oversight to ensure contractor accountability and mission readiness. Julie demonstrates a pronounced commitment to small business participation, with over 21% of her acquisitions set aside for total small businesses under FAR 19.5. Although she primarily conducts open competitions (79% of awards), her consistent use of small business set-asides reflects a deliberate strategy to foster economic opportunity and expand the vendor base. She does not appear to prioritize other socioeconomic categories such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB, indicating a focus on broad-based small business inclusion rather than targeted programs. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 519130 (Other Information Services) and 519190 (Other Activities Related to Information), reflecting expertise in digital content, data services, and information management solutions. She also regularly procures professional training services under NAICS 611430 and facility support services including parking operations under NAICS 812930 and solid waste collection under NAICS 562111. This diversified yet specialized portfolio underscores her technical proficiency in non-traditional service sectors critical to modern administrative operations.
